Cali Ablaze, May Break Off The Continent.

**Heidi's bike after winning the Fontana NMBS DH race last year.********



With all of California burning, and everyone living in San Diego's Qualcomm Stadium, I can't wait to see if FEMA can actually redeem themselves! With all of the evacuated and nearly evacuated Backboner's safe, I hope all our other friends in So Cal are safe. Bill Doyle, The Hill family, Bob and Noemi, etc. may still be at risk. The Camp-N-Ride is still ok, but I will call and make sure the park is open as the days draw nearer.
Randy's house was saved thanks to good budies at the DWP, so he should get to move back in today. Ramona (in San Diego) was evac'd a couple days ago, sending half a million people into the streets. The emergency plan for the area was scary bad, with cars backed up in the towns and freeways for hours. That was with some warning! I hope the emergency planners see this, because if something really bad happens (earthquake) they will all die of starvation in gridlock! Ramona's water depends on a series of electric pumps, none of which now work because the power lines went down. Randy may be living in his trailer for a few days..thnk God he's got one to live in!
Heidi and Darter were able to stand down this morning as well. They probably won't unpack anything for a week or so, but at least our favorite Topanga residents are in the clear.
"Ahnolt" has declared a state of emergency, so now the Pres. can fly over at 30,000 feet and say "gosh, that looks bad Brownie!" OK, I know Brownie isn't at FEMA anymore, so hopefully this will be better.
California has decalred that it is tired of fires and quakes, and is breaking off from the rest of the continent. It will be hangin' with Hawaii. Alaska can come too.
